I hope my friend Jansuing (can I call you that? Hahaha. . .) wouldn’t mind. . .
I stumbled upon his blog post about his top 15 most favorite songs and I was kinda inspired by it. Being such a music lover, I find it ironic that I really don’t have an idea on what my most favorite songs are. I spend half of my time in browsing the internet listening to music and watching live performances from my favorite artists. Even my friends in school would never catch me without my earphones on. When I have nothing to do at home (and it’s only because I have no money to bring myself to the mall to watch a movie or do some shopping. Hahaha) I would just get my phone (it used to be an ipod, before that faithful day in Lawton) and practically listen to the radio and my selection of songs for hours.
And I really don’t have a preference for any genre. As long as the song is good and relatable (that’s why I hate too much love song and emo songs) I’ll dig it. I could practically listen to Barbra Streisand and switch to Evanescence and then to Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera in one sitting.
I’m an avid fan of both classical (the likes of Barbra, Janice Joplin, Shirley Bassey) and contemporary music (Christina, Alicia, Amy and Sarah Mclachlan) that’s why it was punishing to narrow down my favorite songs down to fifteen. I was able to take down 44 songs at first and they were all my all-time favorites. I was thinking leaving it as that and post it but that would be suicidal, for then I’d be writing insights on all 44 of them. I wouldn’t want that since I‘m so wordy, do I? Hmmmmm. . .
I also decided to not only focus on the lyrical content but also to the musical aspect of these songs. So they’re not actually my most favorite songs, but my favorite records.
So here goes nothing. . .
16. Come What May by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor
“Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide,
But I love you, until the end of time. . .”
I know, I know. The effin post is entitled “ My Top 15 Most Favorite Songs”, but I really cannot start any musical list without mentioning this song. True that it’s not one of my most favorite songs, but it’d go down to my history as the most memorable one that even on my deathbed, with all the tracheotomy tube and colostomy bag installed in me for living such a sinfully sedentary lifestyle, I’ll smile just thinking about this.
I was in 2nd year high school when I was chosen to take a lead part in an interpretative dance to be presented to every year level (okay you may think it’s hilarious given I’m ‘kinda’ overweight. But I was ‘kinda’ thin back then!) with this theme from the movie Moulin Rouge (which is also one of my fave movie) as the music. I was not familiar with this song before, so I was in a way enlightened when I tried to listen to the lyrics. It talks boldly about love and the odds that one would fearlessly overcome to protect and cherish it. Being young, I was kinda swayed with the way love was described and embellished. Much later I learned na hindi lang pala siya ganun kasimple. Hmph I really don’t want to talk about love anymore hahaha. . .
It was after I listened to this song that I fell in love with Broadway Music. I then started to rent movies like Chicago and Evita because of it. And it’s also because of this that I fell in love with dancing. I never imagined that after we performed this song, I’d be invited to different dancing presentations and even competitions. I was even awarded with Male Dancer of the Year. Imagine? Wahahaha. I was hoping to pursuit dancing but the glutton fiend in me just took over and made that impossible.
15. I Could Not Ask for More by Sara Evans
“These are the moments I know heaven must exist
These are the moments, I know all I need is this
I found all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more . . .”
I just realized two things. One, majority of the songs here on my list are about love. Now that’s stupid for I really know nothing of it. Two, most of the songs (including this one. It’s track #2) are also the ones that I burned to a CD as a gift to someone. Wow. Has it really been that long since that day when I was so stupid enough to show my true feelings and hand that friggin gift to him? Hahaha. It feels great that I could talk about it now in a nice manner. All I can say is that, if in a sick twist of fate you are reading this, I am happy and have no regrets about any single thing that happened between the two of us. I hope that you could say the same for yourself. January to March of 2006 will always, and I mean always, be the happiest days of my life, so I thank you for it.
Now back to the song! Most people are more familiar with the male version, which I in turn, found fugly. I abhorred the fact that Edwin McCain made it too much of a rock song. So the first time I heard it, I really didn’t pay too much attention.
But the version of Sara Evans blew me away. She made the song country and it sounded miles better than that of McCain. Actually hers was the original version. What I love about it is that she sang it so effortlessly and clear while being sincere the whole time. And that kind of singer is hard to come by nowadays. Sara surely made a classic feat with this one.
14. Not Ready to Make Nice by The Dixie Chicks (2006)
“Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say, time heals everything,
But I’m still waiting. . .”
“How in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Saying that I better
Shut up and sing or my life will be over? . .”
I’ve been a fan of Dixie Chicks since they released their song “I Believe in Love”. Given the fact that I’m such a sucker for country songs, it really wasn’t hard for me to like their easy music.
That’s why it surprised me when they released this single. This served as their powerful response to President Bush and the issue of ‘freedom of speech’. It all started when this group went to London for a concert. During the show, their lead singer went on saying, “Just so you know, we’re ashamed to come from the same country as George Bush.”
That statement angered people as well as their fans. Many of their fan sites shut down, radio stations stopped playing their songs and people stopped buying their records. Bush and his secretary issued statements about the group, saying what they said was ‘intolerable’ and an ‘insult to their country’. The tension heightened when they received a death threat, stating “Shut up and sing or your life will be over.” Because of that they have to apply strict security whenever they go shopping and performing.
All of the Dixie Chicks’ anger, hurting and frustrations were translated to this masterpiece of a song. I always get goosebumps whenever I listen intently to this one. You could hear the sincere and deep anger from the voice of the lead singer. It was like she was screaming at you and telling you that there’s no way in hell that she’s gonna shut up. This record itself was alive. It was even branded as Record of the Year by Grammys. Since in a way I’m also an advocate of my own cause, I’m happy that a group like Dixie Chicks can voice out their opinion in such a beautiful way. Unlike those homophobes who result to hate crimes. Oh here I go again.
13. Call Me When You’re Sober by Evanescence (2006)
“Don’t cry to me
If you love me, you would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind. . .”
Evanescence is my most favorite rock band. I don’t think that any band could come close to the honesty and bizarreness of their work nor their commitment to it. If you’re gonna listen to their two albums, you’re not going to find any distinction since they always stay true to themselves when it comes to music.
Except for this record. I believe that they’ve broken new grounds with this. From the instrumentals down to the lyrics and vocals, this record is so right on. I was in first year when college when this was released and I can’t get enough of it. There’s something that I can’t figure out. It’s so magical and in a way, odd and yet likeable.
Evanescence actually means disappearing after a short time and be soon forgotten. With this record along with Lithium and My Immortal, I simply don’t think that they will.
12. Learn to be Lonely
“Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion. . .”
This song written by no other than Andrew Lloyd Webber was released when the movie version of the Phantom of the Opera hit the theatres. My mother had this collection of broadway albums ,including this one, but I never had the interest to browse them. So I really anticipated the movie version since I started having this curiosity and love for musicals (not high school musical, okay?).
The movie did not disappoint me in any way. The movie tag line “Let the Fantasy Begin” was no promotional crap, it was a promise. I really enjoyed the movie a lot. There this song entitled Learn to be Lonely was played when the credits rolled up but I never paid any attention to it.
But heck, the song was performed by Beyonce in the Oscars so I kinda got interested. Three years after, I still feel the same like the first time I heard it. Actually I consider it my ‘theme song’.
The song is simple; accept the fact that forever, you will live alone. Being gay, it wasn’t hard to relate to it. Sabi nga ni Jansuing, “Love is rare in the world of gays,”. I made peace with the inevitable long time ago. I’m not the kind of gay that still hopes that one day his knight in shining armor would come and save him. Not that I don’t believe that other gays are living in a fantasy world when they believe that they will find love. It’s just that I know I won’t.
And it’s not me being emo or sad about it. I’m happy being single. I’m proud to say that my happiness is not defined by whether or not I have someone beside me. People often laugh at me whenever they learn that I watch movies alone. I pity some of them. If you can’t enjoy the simplest wonders of life like watching a movie without your lover, what kind of person are you? I don’t know I guess it’s just me. The more I stay single, the more I feel obliged to remain one.
Anygays, I think I explained well why I love this song so much. This song reminds me to be stronger and more appreciative of even the simplest things around me.
11. Cool by Gwen Stefani
“And after all the obstacle
It’s good to see you now with someone else
And it’s such a miracle
That you and me are still good friends
After all that we’ve been through,
I know we’re cool. . .”
I looooove Gwen Stefani! Even when she was in No Doubt, I’ve already been drooling over her songs. So I was kinda sad that they broke up and Gwen started her solo career. But in the end, I’m happy that she did!
I was worried that she wouldn’t make it when she released “What are you Waiting For?” coz it’s different compared to the songs of Alicia Keys and Usher which were popular during that time. But then she released “Hollaback Girl” (which almost made it to this list!) and the whole world sang along with her. I was anticipating for another upbeat single from her when she released “Cool” as her 4th single. I liked it immediately for it reminded me of her days with No Doubt.
Now I can never relate to this song since I really cannot say I’m ‘cool’ with my past relationship. But the record is highly addictive as well as sensible, so it really became my most favorite Gwen song along with “Hollaback Girl” and 4 in the Morning”. Good thing that No Doubt is back! They’re gonna release an album early next year!
10. Beautiful by Christina Aguilera (2005)
“Words can’t bring me down
So don’t you bring me down today. . .”
My interpretation of those lines is people’s only means of hurting others is through words. And since I don’t give a damn about it, don’t bother telling me. It would take a very strong person to say that and really mean it, but in a way Christina did with this record.
I was in first year when Christina released her raunchiest video to date, “Dirrty”. Me and my friends hated the fact that she’s too trashy and that she’s trying to imitate Britney (ahhh High School). I would even change channels whenever it’s played on MTV. But when she released Beautiful, she silenced me.
I was reminded that this girl really knows how to sing so I was like, “Ok. . .”. She then released Can’t Hold Us Down and I said, “So, she got an opinion. Great. Next!”. Then I saw the video of Fighter and said, “Wow. That was really artistic. Didn’t know she can do a rock song.” She finally released The Voice Within and that’s definitely the one that made me go to Legazpi to buy her album.
I think that’s the time I really fell hard on western music, since ang bukang bibig ko lang nun ay si Regine Velasquez. I believe she proved what the true measure of being an artist is with that album. It’s all about accepting what you are without the need of other people’s approval. And ever since, I became her no. 1 fan. Hahaha.
Beautiful breaches boundaries and is close to my heart kasi may pagka gay anthem siya. I love how this song is so relatable to everyone. I do believe that lyrically, it’s one of the greatest songs of our time.
9. All I Ask of You by Barbra Streisand
“Say you share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me in your arms always
\ Anywhere you go let me go too
That’s all I ask of you. . .”
This was originally a composition of Andrew Lloyd Webber for the Phantom of the Opera. Barbra Streisand, the diva that she is, really made a great job turning this song to a less musical and to a more of a ballad song.
My fascination with everything that is Regine lead me to become a classical lover. I remember buying her album “Songbird Sings the Classics” and even though it only contains 16 tracks, it introduced me to a vast and beautiful domain. It was then that I started browsing for ‘ancient’ songs from Carpenter, Bread, Shirley Bassey,, ABBA (I’m so gay!) and my fave, Barbra Streisand.
I begged my mother to buy me an album of her entitled Essential which was a greatest hits album. I was so enthralled with every tracks. Seriously! I would always open our audio component every morning as I prepare myself for school just to play it, for my day wouldn’t be complete without doing so. I ended up memorizing some of the notable songs there such as “Piece of Sky”, “Guilty”, “Don’t Rain on my Parade”, “What Kind of Fool am I” and “Woman in Love”. But one that would stand the test of time for me is “All I Ask of You”.
There’s so much love and passion with both the song and how Barbra sang it. One’s heart can be taken away just by listening to it. My heart was. It even made me cry a couple of times. It’s so enlightening to forget all about the hardships in falling in love and focus on what you really feel towards that person. Impossible to do that, isn’t it? Well maybe that’s the thing that made this record exceptional. Why can’t love be so simple just like it is in the eyes of the composer?
8. Try by Nelly Furtado
“And I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And All I can do is try. . .”
This track is perhaps the exact negative to my other fave song All I Ask of You. Meaning, it talks about reality.
I love Nelly Furtado as a Balladeer, not so much as contemporary singer. I don’t know what Timbaland did to make her sound good with her new songs, but her voice and character stood out more in her songs “All Good Things Come to an End” and “In God’s Hands” from the album Loose compared to her more upbeat songs. But nevertheless, I’m a fan. I just love the fact that she’s the one composing her songs. I think that’s the reason why she does well in singing them.
“Try” talks about how one’s heart and devotion to a relationship can wither down when his/her partner is never contented with what he/she gives. I think it’s highly observable today. It’s so ironic how easy it is for us to forget what we really loved about the person in the first place, so much that we would ask more from them. It’s like, a relationship I believe should work on both ways. It’s good to cite out some flaws so that you can work it out. But if you keep on noticing more faults than good things, then I think it’s time to go. For you can never actually achieve what you completely want from your partner without damaging the relationship. Your partner is a person in her own right, not a molding clay that you can shape to whatever idea of perfection that you have in mind. Hmmmm. What was I posting again? I think I should entitled this post as LOVE GURU. As if naman. . .
7. God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts
“Every long lost dream
Leads me to way you are
Others who broke my heart
They wee like northern star
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms . . .”
First of all, this is not a gospel song. I recommended them before to some of my peers and they’d say that they want none of it for they’re not much of a Godly person. Which I found rude, actually. I mean what is so wrong with listening to songs about God? Not that I listen to it, mind you.
This song would have ranked higher if I only considered the lyrical contents for my list. For just reading the lyrics would make you either sigh out of love or puke in disgust, depending on how you did with your exes. I puked, if you should know. But sometimes, you don’t really need to experience things just to connect with songs like this. All you need is to empathize.
The first time I heard this was when it was sang by Carrie Underwood in American Idol. I was like, “What the hell did she just sang?”. I wasn’t really much of a fan of hers for I was rooting for Bo Bice. But when she released her album, I fell in love with many of her songs. Her song “Wasted” almost made it here.
I remember browsing youtube for her songs when I come across her live performance of this “Bless the Broken Road”. I listened to it and and I barely noticed that I was playing it over and over again. I was making out the lyrics. I then downloaded the complete song from Rascal Flatts and also the lyrics and it made me stop, think and let the whole message sink in. It’s nice how a composer can deliver a song with such depth without going to the verge of suicidal, like some. Hahaha. I wish I had someone to sing this song to. Wahahaha. Ano ba talaga Jerome? Akala ko ba masaya kang maging single?
6. No One by Alicia Keys (2007)
“I know people will try
Try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I’m telling you that
No one can get in the way of what I’m feeling. . .”
This is the newest of the singles I have here in my list. I know that some people had enough when it comes to listening to it, but that’s the problem. I just can’t have enough of it.
It’s funny because DJ Mo Twister and I share the addiction for this song. I listen to his show in Magic 89.9 every morning and he would always play this. I can’t blame him. This song is simply powerful. I think that the fact that the lyrics are so simple is the reason. Because of that, many people can relate to it. They can interpret it in ways unimaginable. This song was actually written by Alicia for her sick relative while it was interpreted by most as a love song. That’s what’s beautiful with this kind of songs. The composers leave something to the imagination. Why bother with songs that are deep in words when you can’t relate with it at all?
I remember when we went to Alicia’s concert here in Manila. It was the highlight of my year. I was so stunned when I see her walk through that stage. Coz the Alicia Keys I know is the singer I hear in the radio and the superstar I see in the music videos and movies. Alicia Keys in the flesh? I wasn’t actually prepared for that. And it was so good to hear her live. I have no other way to explain it. When she sang “No One”, she was kinda surprised that people were singing along with her. Haaaay! San bumalik ulit siya.
And now to my top 5 songs.
5. Running by No Doubt
“We’re running, keep holding my hand
And so we don’t get separated. . .”
One of the many songs that made me cry a lot of times. I blame it again to the simplicity of the song and the sad, sad way Gwen sang it. Her vocals brought the lyrics to a new level.
This is by far the best record from No Doubt along with Underneath it All (which ached my heart when I had to remove it from my list.). And it was actually written by Gwen herself and was released as their last single.
The song, for me, is about friendship. This is actually my song for my best friends: Netz, Cams, Kates and Riz. I would always end up thinking about them when I listen to it. Just listening to the lines, “And I’m so sorry that I’ve fallen, help me up let’s keep on running,” is enough to pool tears in my eyes. Every fall that I’ve experienced, from the time I spent to recover with counseling and even to my complete withdrawal from social life, my friends didn’t leave and we would always pick up where we left off. No matter how much I neglect them and take for granted what they offer with their friendship, they would always understand. They focus on the reasons why the friendship is worth keeping, rather than focus on negativities. You don’t get to be with companions like that all the time.
4. Take A Bow by Madonna
“All the world is a stage
And everyone has their part
But how was I to know which way the story goes
How was I to know that you’ll break my heart? . .”
“You took my love for granted why, oh why?
This show is over say goodbye. . .”
I believe that Rihanna’s song of the same title was derived from this one. They could have exerted a little effort in making it original by thinking of a new title. The version of Rihanna is so similar to that of Madonna when it comes to the song’s message.
Given the fact that I’m gay (I’ve been whoring it out for two years. Got to make up for time lost when I was in my old dirty little closet), it’s very much predictable that I’m a fan of Madonna, even though I acknowledge the fact that she can’t sing. It’s just that, like Christina after her, she never cease to reinvent herself when it comes to music. She always have something tuck away that would blow away even her oldest fans. You’ve got to respect those kinds of artists. Some of her notable songs for me include “Rain”, “Ray of Light”, “Nothing Really Matters” and “I’ll Remember”. But when it all comes down to it, “Take a Bow” is her best record, yet. Actually it’s her last single that topped the Billboard Top 100.
I really have no special connection with this, for the reason it’s on my top 5 is because of it’s distinctive and smart lyrics (that’s before Rihanna copied the entire concept). Though I’m not much of a fan of Madonna’s vocals, I really think that she did a great job singing this. This is the kind of song that you won’t need the likes of power houses such as Whitney and Mariah to enjoy, for the song speaks for itself. Madonna’s mellow and monotonous voice proved as an advantage in the musical aspect of this record. Actually it used to be my most favorite song. Since as I’ve shown from my previous songs that I’m more appreciative of simple lyrics (and that’s not because my level of comprehension is limited), it’s just predictable that my most fave Madonna song is this.
3. By Your Side by Sade
“If only, you could see into me. . .”
Simply the best love song that ever seen the light of day. I was actually surprised that the people from V Channel also thinks so. All love songs will wither in the face of time, but this song will linger on.
The first time, and I mean the first time, that I’ve seen the music video and heard of this song, I actually cried. I don’t know if it’s because of the sad, hopeful aura of the video or Sade’s way of dancing towards the city. Hearing this song was actually the first time I’ve learned of Sade. I later downloaded some of her songs such as “Somebody Already Broke my Heart” and “King of Sorrow” from her album Lovers Rock. She’s kinda eclectic, you can’t actually narrow down her genre nor her way in composing her songs and making her music. It’s just that her scope in music is so wide.
What I love most about this song is Sade’s overwhelmingly yet simply sincere way of singing this song. I cannot help but drown to her voice. It’s the heavenly midline between happiness and grief. It’s both peaceful and sorrowful. I don’t know but her distinctive voice really surfaced in this song. The fact that the lyrics was so simple yet the song was delivered the best way possible really made me a fan. Sade’s voice carried this song to new heights. Too bad that she’s not making music anymore.
2. Fallen by Sarah Mclachlan
“And it only lights up morning
And the wounds that would not heal
It’s the bitter taste of losing everything
That I’ve held so dear. . .”
Long before the coming of the emos, Sarah Mclachlan was already singing about sorrows, fears and darkness. She’s the incarnation of both what you now call emo and gothic, though she might not look the part. For sometimes you don’t actually have to put mascara or cover your other eye with your hair to carry the message. Just sing the damn song the way it’s supposed to be sang.
I remember the afternoon when Nenette and I were doing our science project and this video of Sarah Mclachlan entitled “Fallen” was played. She went on raving on how beautiful the voice of Sarah is. I on the other hand was kinda indifferent, yet curious. My preference during that time was narrowed down to contemporary and popular music. I downloaded the song and was taken aback by the ‘breath of fresh air” that Sarah has. I wasn’t actually familiar with her kind of music, yet I instantly fell in love with it. I think she is the reason why I became appreciative of artists that are not that popular but are extremely talented, like Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones.
Some of her greatest songs (included in her album Closer) include “Building a Mystery”, “Adia”, “Sweet Surrender”, “Angel”, “World on Fire” and “Answer” but “Fallen” will always be my first love. It is the complete song translation of what I felt when I was in counseling and when I was eliminated in the science oriented class back in high school. I also love how Sarah shifted from voice to falsetto in singing this song. Her voice is simply angelic that it’s so ironic that she sings mostly of tragedies and failures like in this one. The lyrics on the other hand is deep but didn’t fail to be relatable. Sarah really proved with this that aside from the fact that she’s one heck of a singer, she’s a good writer.
Now to my Number 1 song of All Time
"I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I go about my business, I'm doin fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.
Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Yeah.... You were meant for me and I was meant for you."
You were Meant for Me by Jewel
I typed in all the lyrics for I want to accurately point out why I love this song most. I am a fan of songs that are simply written yet carry a great message. And this song is the embodiment of that preference of mine.
As I’ve said, you really don’t have to experience the same thing as the composer did to relate with him, for you can always empathize. I’m the kind of music lover who spends hours listening to music. I could weather that because as I listen to songs, my mind flies as I create stories in my imaginations that are related to the song. It might sound crazy and weird but I sometimes even cry doing that. And no other song made my mind soar highest than this classic feat of Jewel.
The fact that this record was country made me fell even harder for it. The song talks about how a person honestly acknowledge that her life is empty and monotonous without the love of her life. And how that person holds on to a mere spark of hope that one day her lover would return, on the concrete belief that simply, her lover ‘was meant for her’. The song also talks about how the person had tried to carry on and improve herself, but it all amounts to nothing without her lover beside her. It talks about how her dreams and hopes for herself and her lover are still there despite the fact that they had broke up. It’s about continuing to live up the broken relationship despite the fact that it’s long dead.
This song interprets love in it’s rawest. It talks about reality. You could actually see, if not relate for yourself, this kind of setting in the lives of people around you. We all try hard to move on after a failed relationship, but sometimes what we had with our partner just feel so good and seem so right, that it made you believe that you are really for each other. What I also like is Jewel’s simple yet appropriate vocals. She actually has two version of this song, but I like the more sorrowful one better.
